Butter lamb
[edit]I have un-done your move of "Butter lamb" to "Butter Lamb". Wikipedia uses "sentence casing" for article titles. Before you make a similar change, please review WP:TITLEFORMAT, particularly where it says, "The initial letter of a title is almost always capitalized by default; otherwise, words are not capitalized unless they would be so in running text."

Your GA reviews
[edit]Hi, an editor brought to my attention that you left drive-by reviews at Talk:1961 San Diego Chargers season/GA1 and Talk:1990 San Diego Chargers season/GA1. I have undone your promotions of these articles, as they were out of process. GAN reviewers are expected to conduct a thorough review of each article, to ensure it passes all of the good article criteria. Please do not do what you did again in the future. If you have questions, there are plenty of editors who can help you, but it is not ok to just promote an article immediately to GA without leaving any comments (and you will not be getting any credit for these reviews in the drive).

[edit]Hello,
I noticed your edits on 2021 Cincinnati Bengals season and would like to make you aware of WP:LIVESCORES and the corresponding consensus discussion. Given that the Bengals game is over, there is no use reverting those edits, but please keep this in mind and help enforce it for future games/sporting events.

[edit]Dear Fellow *eligible!* Wikipedians,
Last week, I logged into Wikipedia only to find a banner saying "Vote in the Board of Trustees elections!" What did I do, I'll tell you. I checked my eligibility (* I was eligible!*) and voted. It's that simple, you can do it too! Just check your eligibility, vote, and that's it! We have to stand up and make our opinions heard. We only have until the 6th to do it. Follow us as an example and vote in the election. Thank you very much. I'm BubbaDaAmogus, and I approve this message. (I'm not running)

End of an era... (1952-2022)
[edit]Dear World,
Today, it happened. The moment her enemies have been waiting for and others hoping against for 70 years.
Queen Elizabeth II is dead.
 At first, chills ran down my back. Really? How? I just couldn't apprehend it. She's been the Queen of England all my life.
It's too hard to apprehend for others, I know.
Thoughts and prayers with her. RIP

NFL thoughts
[edit]Well, I hope you are celebrating after the Bengals' loss. I'm going for the Eagles.. what are your thoughts and who are you going for the Super Bowl? Tails Wx 13:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Eagles all the way, and Eli Apple deserves to get owned. A friend told me about this guy who correctly predicted every Super Bowl since 50. And he said the Eagles would win this year. Best part is, though, that he predicted US to win Super Bowl 58. I just pray to God that we don't get done dirty again.
- -B D A *Bills 🤝 Chiefs
- Roasting Eli Apple, enjoy Cancun, walking L!* BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 13:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- What I'm understanding is that you are going for the Eagles? Hurts and Goedert? Gainwell and Scott? And even throw in Sanders. Tails Wx 14:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yup! BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 16:45, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, good. Unfortunately, my friends are rivalling against me and going for the Chiefs instead, but I'm going to argue that the Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill, which pretty much was a blow to their WRs, and that's why they almost lost to the Bengals IMO. I'm blaming it on Joseph Ossai for Bengals' loss. I really wanted the Bengals vs the Eagles, but now, looks like the Eagles will win ;) Tails Wx 16:53, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- I really wanted Bengals-Niners. Darn, Purdy went out sad. By the way, I'm editing the 2022 Bills Pro Bowl selections on the 2022 Bills page and on the Pro Bowl page. Do you think you can add the proper notations for the 2022 Bills page once I'm done? Thanks.

- Have you already added the notations? Tails Wx 17:22, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- No, now I think I don't have to add notations, I don't know about it. BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 18:18, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Alright, then. I've got two things on my NFL list: the Eagles winning the Super Bowl and the Bears owning the No. 1 pick :) Tails Wx 21:46, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, just watch out for a Justin Fields trade, personally, I think he looks good enough in a Bears jersey, and in nothing else. (We don't even want him) BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 13:30, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- No-I don't want a Justin Fields trade :( Maybe one more season until his contract expires in 2024. Tails Wx 13:47, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Me, personally, I would keep him for as long as possible. He's going to be a crucial piece of the team in the future, he's the one guy holding up the whole offense right now. BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 13:50, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. Looks like the Bears need some improvement on the defense, and they probably need redemption on the Roquan Smith trade. Texans are a different story. Probably need Bryce Young by now. Tails Wx 13:56, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Texans definitely need to make a good pick or two to fill in the QB position, and maybe invest in some new receivers. But this year, they really need to start working on that defense. BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 17:10, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's why they've gone 3-13-1. They even beat the Colts, thanks to Davis Mills, although Mills had 3 INT and the Colts' Ehlinger had 2 and 2 TD passes and INTs. Ever since J.J. Watt's departure, the Texans gone downhill. Tails Wx 17:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- True, now watch the Cardinals follow in the same footsteps in 2023 after Watt's retirement. Hope Kliff Kingsbury is enjoying his Thailand getaway. BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 18:18, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Disruptive edit summaries
[edit]You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:11, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Wait, what was wrong with the edit summary? I usually just put my reactions in it. Also, that was just the 2nd time EVER (and in the last week) that I maxed out the edit summary with a long yell. I can stop doing it, but could you possibly explain what was so disruptive about it? It's not like anyone ever looks at edit summaries.
- BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 17:25, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Edit summaries are not for reactions; they are for making a useful description of the edit you are making. In addition to the two "yells," stuff like this is not helpful either. Page patrollers use edit summaries extensively, and we don't need crap filling up those logs. Don't do it again. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:39, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
- Cool, I can kick the habit right now. All this time I forgot the true meaning of the edit summary, but now that you explain it, I think I can make something more professional. I'm pretty young, so my brain makes some radical decisions. Alas, another lesson learned for me. I'm going to go back to my stuff. BubbaDaAmogus (talk) 17:54, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
